Ridgewood Park, also known as Grauer's Ridgewood Park (Ridgewood Park I) or Wallace's Ridgewood Park (Ridgewood Park II), was a baseball ground located in Ridgewood, in the New York City borough of Queens. The grounds were used, on occasion, by the Brooklyn Bridegrooms baseball club of the American Association (AA), as their home park from 1886 to 1889 and of the Brooklyn Gladiators, also of the AA, for the 1890 season.
Today the location of the park, along Myrtle Avenue, is divided by Seneca Avenue, and the area has stores and residences.
Famous quotes containing the word park:
“Borrow a child and get on welfare.
Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
